One way I have grown this year is learning how to keep moving forward even when life feels incredibly difficult.
Losing my dad in March this year changed my life in ways I never expected. Some days I still find myself wanting to pick up the phone and try calling him. Other days I feel grateful for the memories we shared and the love he gave me throughout my life. Grief has taught me that healing is not about forgetting someone or moving on. It’s about learning how to carry their memory with you while continuing to live your life.
This year has also taught me to be more honest about my feelings. Instead of keeping everything bottled up, I have spent more time writing, reflecting, and sharing my experiences with those who were wanting to listen and know more. It hasn’t always been easy, but it has helped me to understand myself better.
I am still growing every day, still healing, and still learning. If this year has taught me anything, it is that I am stronger than I thought I was.
